14-06-2006 08:52
In the second part of this article I considered the first of four ways in which the reduction in consumption, greenhouse gases and environmental damage can be achieved; by using the power of research for good. This time I am going to look at the use of politics as a means for positive change.End University and Other Cat Torture

Soldiers refusing to serve in Iraq face possible life sentence
14-06-2006 00:05
Last month it was revealed that nearly 3,000 soldiers have deserted the British Army each year since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Of these, more than 1,000 are still reported to be missing. Official Ministry of Defence (MoD) figures record that 2,825 soldiers went “absent without leave” in 2003, rising to 3,050 in 2004 before falling slightly to 2,725 in 2005.The MoD has attempted to play down the figures. An official commented, “We regard that figure as fairly constant. It often happens for family reasons and there is no evidence to suggest operational commitments contribute significantly to the figures.”
In reality, the figures must reflect in some fashion the opposition of soldiers being asked to serve in an illegal war. The number of those deserting or going “absent without leave” has more than trebled since 2001.

How English inner city councils are causing poverty and destitution in 2006
13-06-2006 20:48
Gordon Brown's hype of 'Islamic banking' and his claim that he is Islamic-banking-friendly, should be seen in context: Most of today’s inner city poor need not be in poverty. They are being pushed into poverty by Labour councils in the main. Most of the poor in East London are Muslim. So is there a problem of connection here?Thirst for West Bank Water

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/starttheweek.shtml PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY TO INTERESTED PARTIES
Open Letter to Andrew Marr, Presenter, Start the Week on Radio 4, the BBC
Dear Andrew,
This is an open letter that I am going to ask the people--many of whom are
prominent academics-- I have copied in to circulate as widely as possible,
to draw the attention of people to the egregious manner in which you dealt
with the follow-up this morning's show on 'The Legacy of Empire'. I am
appalled and shocked at your biased introduction to the evening phone-in.
You use dismissive words like 'blarney', 'aggressive', and 'too much heat'
to describe an impassioned discussion of a painful and traumatic legacy
that didn't fit the genteel upper-class British converation over 'tea and
cucumber sandwiches'model. This then set the tenor for the phone-in that
followed.
